Teaching is at the heart of our university community. Each year, UBC Okanagan recognizes exemplary role models in our teaching and learning community who demonstrate a strong commitment to creating positive learning environments for students and contributing to a supportive teaching and learning community with the UBC Okanagan Teaching Awards.
Nominations are now open for the Provost’s Award for Teaching Excellence and Innovation and the Killam Teaching Prize.
